Why isn't there PHP6? Am I living under a rock once again? #php
-
@dragnucs Microsoft has no 9, PHP has no 6 ;-)
-
@mk I found it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP#PHP_7
-
@dragnucs #PHP 6 was a project to move the language from where it was in the 4.x and early 5.x days in one big jump, mandating #OOP and making #Unicode the default. Some complained that the proposal turned PHP into #Java, and that it would chase away the less-skilled people that helped make PHP the most widespread language for the web. So beginning with 5.4, some of those changes are gradually being added, while others are indefinitely delayed.
-
I highly recommend both versions! @dragnucs
-
@dragnucs AFAIK PHP 6 was a plan that never materialised. They skipped to 7 to "avoid confusion".
-
@dragnucs This, of course, is based on personal recollection of things I've read. (Another way of saying these things could be inaccurate, though I believe they are accurate.)
-
@dragnucs Ah, @lnxw48 beat me to it (with a more useful explanation, no less!) :)
-
@lnxw48 They seem to be accurate of what i read too after I queeted.
-
@chimo Yes that's what it is.
-
@chimo @dragnucs @mk Probably a good reason not to associate major revisions to projects with a specific version-next number until something is nearly ready to ship. #Perl's big revision ( Perl 6 ) wound up being declared "a separate language in the Perl family" instead of a replacement.
-
@mk @lnxw48 @dragnucs I don't use AngularJS but I heard v2 has almost nothing to do with v1, which annoyed a lot of people.

@daw I'd be more in tune with #PHP (at least) if I hadn't hired on with $EMPLOYER. The agency management seems to believe that all good things come from Redmond. Which isn't _all_ bad. I would never have gotten to use #VBScript and #KiXtart if I had never worked for this part of the government. #MSFT
